More Fun Hair Styles

Kat is one of my neighbors, she often comes over to play with Princess and asks me to do her hair. I'm not sure if she likes the snacks she gets to eat or the cartoons that she get to watch more. For Kat, this time I did a zig zag part, then three ponies on each side in the front.
I then divided the middle pony and placed two more ponies in. Then I combined from two ponies into one. I then pulled each side into one pony tail.




This is my neice, Jules. She way cute. She has really fine hair. I Parted her hair in a zig zag front to back. Then I put in pony tail around her head starting in the front and going around each side.

When I reached the back I wnet up into two pony tails.










Fancy updo

I really love this look on Monkey.
I did 10 flippie/pull throughs, all around the head (5 on each side). Then I split each flippie into another row of flippies (9 flippies) Then I pulled all of the hair into one pony tail.






After all of the hair in the final pony. Seperate 4 small section of hair on the top and clip them up. (More Photos to come of that.) Then add curls as desired.


Let me know if you would like more instructions on this hair style.

Fourth of July

For the Fourth of July I borrowed the star idea from Its a girl Thing. Instead if using ribbon I tried the red, white and blue ponies. I made the hairbow acouple of months ago, not thinking about how I would do the girls hair. I think it all came together pretty well. I should have taken more pictures. Monkey

Ice plants




I planted these ice plants in my front yard last spring. They are so pretty. The ice plant is a drought resistant ground cover. It spreads quickly and is very hardy. I have also seen them in yellow.

New conrainer for ponytails

I have found the greatest container to hold the girls ponytail holders. I have been looking for a while now and finally I have it. I tried using an embrordery thead holder, it works pretty well until it would gets knocked off the counter. Then all of the colors mixed together again. Also little hand think that it is so fun to play with all the pretty colors.




Now I have a Craft Mates Locking Caddy. It has seperates, each with a locking lid, so that I can open only the color that I need. If the container falls off the counter everything stays sorted.


I love it.
I also found these Lock-ups container for my extra ponytail holders

Easter Bows




I used to sew the girls Easter dresses but right no I have no sewing Machine. I found these cute dresses a Costco, Laura Ashley dresses. I made bows to match the dresses and I think they turned out pretty cute.
Monkey and Princess are adorable in their Easter outfits. Little Man got his first tie and Dad got a matching one.

Home Decor



Bruce and I have lived in this home for almost two years. Two months ago we put our first picture on the wall. I know, silly huh? We should have decorated along time ago, the problem is that I'm not very good at decorating. This is why I'm so excited about what I have worked on the last few days. I found theses frames at Target. Then I printed photos from my computer, using black ink only, onto photo paper. I cut out vinyl letters using Robins cricut, that say Families can be together forever. Hurray for me!!
I am so motivated right now that Bruce better watch out. I have already looked at paint chips, and started a new project.

Braids

This was Princess's hair do for church last Sunday.
She is such a cutie.
I sectioned the hair into six sections, then french braided each section.



I continued braiding to the ends of the hair and put ponytails in each one. So what I had was six braids. I took the three braids on each side and braided them together. Then I pulled the two braid together and put in a clear ponytail. After the ponytail was secure I removed the other six. Then I curled the rest of the hair with my hair straightener.


You can then add a bow or pretty clips.
